Not The End

Fresh off the cob with buttery retro-flavoured good vibes all round, Formidable Vegetable’s new single Grow a Garden is a pop gem with smooth beats, cutting edge production and an unshakably infectious hook.

Featuring Mal Webb & Kylie Morrigan on horns and strings, Alex Burkoy  (Tinpan Orange, The Cat Empire) on guitar, Charlie Mgee and Carlien Jeanne on vocals and produced by Melbourne sonic-artisan, Spoonbill, Grow a Garden sounds like it should be the new theme-song for Gardening Australia. 

A love song for anyone into fresh homegrown produce, Grow a Garden will warm the hearts and minds of every aspiring backyard-farmer, get you boogieing in your overalls and leave you with the kind of satisfaction that comes with eating a fresh-picked strawberry.

Featuring the remote Gascoyne River's Yagu Wila Choir and Charlie Mgee on ukulele & vocals, salsa-flavoured beats from Lord Dazastah of legendary Aussie hip-hop outfits Downsyde & AB Original, an orchestra of strings and horns concocted by Mal Webb & Kylie Morrigan and sophisticated electronic production from Melbourne producer, Spoonbill, this is Formidable Vegetable’s slickest track to date.

Earth People Fair is a manifesto to finding a sense of ‘home’ from the perspective of someone who has often felt out of place. Coming from a more personal angle, Formidable Vegetable singer-songwriter, Charlie Mgee shares a desire to more deeply understand and know true connection to country, a concept most familiar to indigenous cultures around the world. As a descendant of colonisers, he recognises the challenges this poses, but still feels it to be of incredible importance in order to find our place in the world so we can ultimately give it (and ourselves) the care it so desperately needs.

Partly inspired by Bruce Pascoe’s book ‘Dark Emu’, Mgee points to an urgent need for Australians to start recognising and adopting more sustainable land use in an ecologically-fragile country, attempting to draw links between traditional indigenous practices and more modern systems of permaculture as a way for its more recent inhabitants to try and adapt to the increasingly harsh conditions we all face.

Thomas Vent - The Pink Theme

“This remix album is a representation of my life as a DJ and Producer. Pretty much everyone on here has been an influence along the way. Guys like A.Skillz and Ed Solo who were early heroes of mine. Artists who I’ve been playing since they started their careers like Skope, Kursa, Hydraulix and Beat Fatigue. My current crew of label mates like K+Lab and Defunk. Newer producers on the scene like Kotek, Seppa, Ahee and Rumpus. I asked all of them to do a remix because I love their music, I love how diverse they all are. I’m also lucky to call them friends” - Stickybuds
